  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

If someone asked have you ever regretted believing in Santa Clause... sure. Yet I never have lol. See Yeshua Jesus Christ we all know was a real person lived died and rose from the grave. He finds you...and oh you have this love this peace this joy you never had before. Some of the 1st things I ever saw was in a bible study meeting where they were praying for this huge wart on my palm. So as he was praying just before he stops says "and lord even the ones between his toes". Yeah I never even told my own mom about those between my toes. Not one toe but many. About a week later all were gone ever came back. If you know about warts yeah.. I had them for as long as I could remember. I remember I was going go to School in Oklahoma. There were 3 of us in the car and I knew no one in Oklahoma. No job no place to stay so just as we were getting into Oklahoma the driver said she knew someone that went to Oral Roberts Univ yet didn't know where it was.

At that same moment of us talking about it the car behind us the driver keeps pointing up. So we pull over to this INFO stand and that guy pulls up gets out comes over says "didn't you see me pointing up? YES we answered. He said "the lord told me you don't know how to get to Oral Roberts Univ and I am to show you the way" PRAISE GOD GLORY TO JESUS.. man happen to me but still blows me away.

Skipping allot of other awesome times. I am now married living in LA. I was in Hollywood which is NOT a nice place at night. I was there seeing some preacher that had a meeting in some school. So I left a tad early and it was pitch black out and I was very happy. My little truck was about 2 block away so as I was just crossing the street in the middle the lord said "RUN". I thought "run? Why I'm not scared". The lord came right back with "When God tells you to do something you don't question it you just do it". To that I smiled and said "yes sir". I started to run. I am not on the next block and I look to my left there is this apartment building with those double doors and no light on. Juuuuust as I pass it two people run out jump into this baby blue old car and now are driving backwards after me.

Now lol man now I am so scared.. I cross the street.. I can see the old Catholic Church to my right and on the other side of the street I see my little truck. Now I only share exactly what happened. I see my little truck and standing there were two big guys just standing in the dark not talking just standing.. that always gets me. One was like on the grass by the front bumper the other on the side walk but by the side door of the truck. I run over that way the care driving backwards sees them and takes off. I jump in drive off.

It was only after some time that I started to think back and.. I had no fear of those two big guys just standing there in the dark not talking just standing. Just peace. Anyway I can go on and on. He as He told a Muslim in a 3rd world prison who was fasting seeking to hear from ALLAH yet ALLAH never ever said a word and he gave up. Said this light shows up.. a man holes in His hands yet the Muslim man just knew how evil wicked sinful he was and how holy pure love this light was. He runs in the corner saying forgive me forgive me and the man in white comes over puts his hand on his shoulder says "I forgive you". All the fear was gone just love and he asks "who are you?" The light said "I am the way the truth and the life" The Muslim man said "that means nothing to me". He said "I am Jesus Christ". I have seen that Muslim man share that story one then 15 years later and the moment he starts to talk about Christ he can not stop crying.

Jesus Christ is very real. All anyone has to do from their heart is just ask.. if you are who you say you are.. show me. But has to be from the heart.

So regret? Never once.. ever. Well hmm there was a time I was reading and in the margin said if your heart convicts you.. you wont get anything from God. I got up said .. I QUIT! I said my heart convicts me 24/7 of sin. So was leaving.. reached for the door and He asked me "what is righteousness?" I start to turn and say "ok ok righteousness is right standing with God". He asks "how do you get righteousness?" I said by believing in Jesus. At that moment it was like being blind then you can see I could not stop crying. See He was showing me how HE sees me. No some sinful evil wicked but through Jesus Christ what Christ already did. No regret no desire to freely sin.. a love and a peace this world can not understand and does not have..

Did you ever regret becoming a Christian?
No.
Has there been a downside and how have you lived with that?
Did it cause problems?
Many people don't see eye to eye with you and it takes away some socially acceptable options for dealing with certain situations. These same people have evil in their hearts which is the root of the problem, but these other limitations just exacerbate its negative effects on you. And this is assuming there is no direct influence by Satan or demons targeted at you, which can manifest in these same evil people.
Did you ever backtrack?
As in deny that I'm a Christian like Peter denied he knew Christ? No.
